Lens filter size question

[wtl]

Anyone knows a list of Leica M lenses that take 46mm filters? Or if any Leica lens that takes 46mm filters?

Odd question, I know. But I have a reason.

Any Leica lens + step-up ring to 46mm will take a 46mm filter.

Well, that helps.

Now, do we know a list of Leica lens that has smaller filter size than 46mm?

Erwin Puts has a reference page, but it's a bit out of date; http://www.imx.nl/photosite/leica/overview/listm.html. The Leica 35mm/1.4 ASPH, 28mm/2 ASPH, and many others have this filter size. Also Zeiss' new ZM Biogons in the 21mm/2.8, 25mm/2.8 and 28mm/2.8 are 46mm front threaded.

OT - Most of the Contax G system uses 46 mm filters. If you find a wholesale source, let me know anytime.

The pre-asph later than 1994 50mm Summilux takes a 46mm filter...

Wonderful. Thank you guys.

And thank you for the link, SDK. Who is Erwin Puts?

28/2.8 vers. IV, 28/2-ASPH, 35/1.4-ASPHERICAL, 35/1.4-ASPH, 50/1.4 1994-2005, 50/1.4-ASPH, 90/2.8 (current). All 39mm Leica lenses can use 46mm filters with a step-up ring but the correct lens hoods will no longer fit. It might be possible to use a 49-46 step-down on the 135/3.4 APO without vignetting, maybe even the 75/2 but this is pure speculation as I've never tried it. The Konica Hexanon-M (RF) 28/2.8, 35/2 and 90/2.8 also take 46mm filters, as does the Voitlander 28/1.9.
